TA-Mark 195 Posted January 4, 2012 The Pumpkin body might be a touch short for the DT01 chassis. Body is ~205mm wheelbase and the chassis is ~255mm wheelbase. There's Lexan truck bodies, like the F150 truck or Stadium Blitzer, that will fit nicely onto the wheelbase of the DT01. You'll need to make up some custom body mounts to fit a truck body. The available gear ratios are suitable to use upto 4600Kv brushless when using the buggy sized wheels. Lower Kv brushless when using the larger sized truck wheels (like Stadium Blitzer wheels).

The Mad Fighter and Mad Bull shells will fit perfectly as they were made for the same chassis, however you may need their related body mount posts as well.
